They don't close the gate at Eisenhower.

I guess the question should have been when does a person man the booth or the Park office? I'll just poke $5 in the box and fill out the form. No problem...

David,
Nobody is in the office or the booth before 8.

David, I don't know the answer. Eisenhower is allowing free admission for the people attending the fishing event, but you do have to check in at the gate and get a pass given to you. I don't know how entrance will work for the people that arrive early in the morning. I'll try to get an answer.

TX, the Rev has twisted my arm to the point of dismemberment so I�ll be there short of any relapse - if my meds hold out.

The most productive Texoma striper flies that I use are the spinster and clouser in various colors and sizes.
I�ll bring my collection and maybe demo one if I am able � bad eyes and shaky fingers, so don�t look too closely at my work.

Will be just a short stay but anxious to see all my friends.

George, I'm looking forward to getting to shake your hand and meet you in person.

My dad and I plan on coming up there tomorrow around 4-5. We would like to fish the river Friday night and possibly Saturday morning before the event.

Can anyone give us some hints?

We have tied about 20 different clousers each in different colors and sizes. We are going to be fishing with 6 wt and floating fly line. We will also have 14 lb mono.

Also I am guessing you don't need waders but if we walk into the water do we need to have OK fish licenses too?

To get in the water please do have an OK license. That being said, my experience has been to find the holes where the fish are holding.

There are a series of rocks near the Texas side. On the farther edges, out towards the main channel more or less, are likely places. Also pay attention to who is catching without crowding them

Be aware that there is a lot of terminal tackle out in the river: old mono, lures, hooks, rigs of various sorts. Not to freak you out, just pay attention and maybe take a neck knife or something in case it gets around your feet.

the one week I cant go! have fun guys!

Well, you freaked me out.

Carry your knife in your teeth to look particularly scary and tough...

YARRRR!

I suppose I'll have to wear my skull and crossed rods shirt that the Ministry of Silly Casts made for me too.

Is it worth the cash to get the 5 day OK license and wade? Will I need waders?

Also what is the regulations for fishing on Texoma. Do I need a texoma license? Or can I fish the banks of Texas no problem?

Of course check with the TPWD and don't just take my word for it; but on the lake you can fish in the Texas part with a Texas license. So the shoreline and inlets are 100% cool. Getting out in a boat it's easy to drift over into foreign waters so a Texoma license is best for that; or else have both TX as well as OK.

Thanks for the help. I think Im going to to get the 5 day license. I hope to see you guys up there.
